Description

We know that you will love our little Cape Cod getaway as much as we do. We offer a family and pet friendly one story home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, outdoor shower and lovely outdoor space within walking distance to whatever you need while you are away. One queen, one full and two twins offer plenty of sleep space for a family of 4 with two guests.

You can walk to pick up some milk or necessities, a pizza, a book for your afternoon at the beach as well as the bike path (1/4 mile) and several restaurants. Within a mile drive is beautiful Cape Cod Bay, where there is public access for ''beaching'' it for the day. The short 7-mile drive to the National Seashore is a breeze as well for those who love the surf. Sweet to Sea is located on a dead end street (we are third from the end), so there is very little traffic, perfect for privacy while grilling dinner on one of our two decks or small children riding bikes in the road. If you do hit some bad weather (which of course, you won't), the spacious open plan of the home will provide a beautiful spot for reading or board games. Brewster is a hidden gem and staying at Sweet to Sea while you are there will only make your vacation better.

Guest Reviews

We just spent a wonderful week at Sweet to Sea and were completely impressed with the home. It was very bright, clean and spacious. The beds and living room couches were super comfortable; we also loved the ultra modern kitchen. The home was very close to everything and we enjoyed exploring the shops and restaurants on Main Street. We spent time at the bay beaches, Nantucket Sound beaches and the National Seashore. We also rode our bikes to Wellfleet and took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard in Woods Hole. We found the home centrally located and getting around the Cape was really easy.

We've been renting vacation homes for about 20 years (domestically and internationally) and this is definitely one of our favorites. My family that consists of six adults loved our stay and unanimously felt that the home was very roomy and comfortable.

We highly recommend renting this home and definitely plan on returning for our next vacation on the Cape.show moreshow less

We love this house! After 3 summers here, it feels like a home away from home. The home has everything you need to enjoy your time here without stressing about the details. Can't say enough about the outdoor shower. We talk about it longingly all year & look forward to going back. The location is quiet and private but only a short walk to the activity in Brewster. The bay beaches have quickly become our favorites, and we love the changing scenery the tides offer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.show moreshow less

My family and I spent 2 relaxing weeks here and were very sad to leave. The house features all modern conveniences -- particularly a new kitchen -- in a clever, open plan layout. High ceilings and multiple sliding glass doors allow for plenty of natural light and feeling of spaciousness.

The location is great - quiet cul de sac in the heart of Brewster - but an easy short walk to Main Street shops & cafes. There are 2 small decked areas out back and a nice grassy plot with trees around it giving privacy. We also loved the outdoor shower & used it more than the indoor ones!

Our family of 4 and our dog enjoyed 2 wonderful weeks here. The updated kitchen was a huge surprise and fantastic bonus. It's a bright, airy home that is welcoming and cozy. We opted to eat in most nights, and the fully stocked kitchen and grill made it all easy to eat a quick meal after a day at the beach. The outdoor shower is lovely and was used frequently by us all. The close proximity to many of Brewster's popular spots was another bonus & made our morning & evening walks fun. Thank you!show moreshow less

My family - including two young children and a dog - has stayed here for a week for the past three summers and we LOVE it! It is the perfect location on a quiet dead-end road within walking distance to beach, ice cream, restaurants, shops, etc. The house is impeccably clean, with a recently updated, gorgeous kitchen, great yard and outdoor shower. The owners are very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this home, and Brewster, for your Cape Cod getaway!

My family, including dog, just returned from spending a lovely week at 'Sweet to Sea.' The house is lovely. Spotlessly clean, newly renovated. Lovely laminate floors in kitchen and living room, so much nicer and easier to keep clean than carpets. Nice high ceiling with ceiling fan in living room. The newly renovated kitchen is open, airy, and beautifully done. Excellent location in Brewster, very near beaches on both the bay and ocean side, and near stores and great seafood! Would definitely stay here again next time I vacation on the Cape, which I hope will be soon!show moreshow less

Awesome!! Only thing is, the floors are hardwood. :) Thanks so much for writing!!!

We saw this home last year but it was already booked for the time we needed, so we tried earlier this year and got it. In the pictures, we saw the wall to wall carpeting, but then when we got there, ouch! Beautiful wood floors throughout the kitchen & living room! Because we have 2 family dogs, we brought their doggie boots which made us feel better as they romped around on the floors. : )

The new kitchen is amazing and the sink & faucet are on my wish list for our own home. Plus there is a pull out in the center isle with 2 trash bins; everything is so contained and modern.

The living area is so open and airy with a ceiling fan; you will love it. There is a small bathroom with shower stall off the kitchen along with a small bedroom with a double bed that is perfect for an older son or daughter. On the other side of the house, there are 2 larger bedrooms, one with twin beds and one with a queen size along with a full bath in between them (plenty of closet space in those 2 rooms).

There are 2 nice decks but we favored the one off the kitchen for some reason. All the sliding glass doors are great as there are nice breezes that cool the home when they are open. The side yard is level and great for dogs and kids to play.

Rachel & Chris were very attentive and made sure everything was good during our stay. They provide a beach pass if you want to venture out a bit, and give many ideas of where to go for family fun. J.T.'s restaurant near the house is excellent. The calamari was perfect and the burgers are great, as well as the fish and chips take-out that we brought to my parents house in Brewster for dinner one night. We love the Lemon Tree Shops, Our Lady of the Cape Thrift Shop, The Strawberry Patch gift shop and so many more awesome places to visit.

There are so many places to go just on 6A alone, so you really don't have to leave Brewster if you don't want to, but, Orleans is not far if you need to do some grocery shopping at larger stores.

We (three families, each with one infant) stayed for one weekend at the beginning of June. The house was well-maintained, spotless and had everything we needed. It was exactly as described in the ad. Especially the kids enjoyed their stay due to all the toys that were available. We also enjoyed the nice garden and the terrace. The location is very quiet and really close to a beautiful beach.We got plenty of information about the location, beaches, places to go, etc. The contact by phone and email in advance with Rachel was excellent.

My wife Beth and I spent a long week end at this home in the Fall of 2012. This vacation home is nestled on a spacious lot with privacy in mind. The home is ultra-clean and decorated in a seashore-upscale mode. There are extras everywhere you look, from the full kitchen to the deck out back and full shower just off the deck. We enjoyed the queen bed and cable television. The home is spacious so even a group would be comfortable without feeling crowded. Being near downtown Brewster was a plus as we frequented the restaurants nearby. The beaches were not crowded and we walked bayside beaches and the National Seashore. Beth and I and our family will return.

It's evident the owners are caring and want their renters to enjoy their retreat as they do themselves. Thanks again.show moreshow less

We love going to visit this very cozy cottage at the Cape! The bedrooms are bright and roomy, and the living room, kitchen and dining areas are spacious as well! Lovely yard and 2 decks are great areas for children to play! My daughter LOVES the outdoor shower!! The beaches are very close by, the Brewster General Store is very quaint, and we had a great time exploring the beaches, shops, and all that Brewster has to offer! We have been going there for almost 4 years, and have loved seeing all of the updates that the owners have made! You will fall in love with the area--we have!!show moreshow less

About Rachel Horn

My husband and I met at the Cape Cod Sea Camps (just a mile east of Bittersweet Drive) and got married in Brewster. We are now the proud parents of two girls, both of whom have spent their summers at the Cape Cod Sea Camps since birth. We are boarding school teachers and worked to purchase Sweet to Sea as an investment property in 2009. We are proud of our little piece of Brewster, and plan on living in the home upon our retirement, many years from now. We purchased the home from a teacher with two daughters, so a love for educations children certainly seems to resonate. We knew we would have to rent to afford the house, so that is what we do! We have yet to have a negative experience. We have tried to keep the rent as low as possible so families like ours can enjoy a week away without breaking the bank, and have found that this has resulted in returning families, and appreciative renters.

What is special about this property?We have invested our blood, sweat and tears into the house to provide you will a spacious space to enjoy both indoors and out of doors. Nothing is ''fancy'', just the way we feel all Cape houses should be. Just enough to cook and eat in a clean space, sleep in a comfortable bed, enjoy the yard and outside spaces, or cozy up should the sun not be shining. You cannot beat the location! Near the end of a quiet cul de sac, steps from the bike path, restaurants, the book store, and only a mile to a public bay side beach.

If I were to brag, I feel that our outdoor shower, and our newly renovated kitchen are both to die for!
